4-stroke gas engines are used for Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plants for production of electricity and heat. Plant sizes can be in the range up to 50 MW. By converting from power production on other fossil fuels to a natural gas fired CHP plant, the CO2 emissions from the power production will be reduced by factor 2 to 3.
The heat produced can be used for heating of buildings or for industrial processes. Hot water is distributed into the district-heating network and used for heating of public buildings and private dwellings. The electricity produced in co-generation with the heat is delivered into the local electricity distribution systems.
For larger building complexes it is possible to include an additional feature to the concept, as water for cooling purposes can also be provided from the CHP plant.
The following features characterize BWSC’s CHP plants:
• High quality 4-stroke gas engines from world leading manufacturers
• Total efficiency of up to 90%
• Standardized simplified concepts in accordance with the prevailing standard for district heating plants ensuring easy maintenance
• Fully automatically operated plants which require no daily operator
• Control concept including operation in accordance with a pre-determined tariff-based payment system for electricity and with the hot water stored in heat accumulation tanks for supply when heat is required.
